Committee on Housing and Homelessness

Novas Initiatives

10:30 am

Dr. Una Burns:

There may well be but I am not aware of them. There is a risk that families may not know we exist or may not have presented to us having been denied an uplift. They may subsequently present as homeless instead of as a prevention case. It makes sense if one can get the HAP uplifted to keep them in their homes rather than put them into emergency accommodation.
